Looking For: Reloading Dies

[NoStepOnSnek]

Hello everyone,
I am starting to get into reloading. I’ll be using a RCBS rock chucker. The guy that is acting as a mentor of sorts for me has gotten me started with 357 mag and 30-06 dies, but I’ve got a few other cartridges I’d like to load as well.

458 Win Mag
350 Legend
223 Rem

If y’all have any of these that you are willing to part with, as well as reloading manuals and shell holders, please let me know. Manuals I have are Richard Lees Modern Reloading Second Edition and Hodgdon 2018

Lee is one of the best

eBay has a lot of used dies for sale. But realistically, brand new dies are not that expensive.

I have an entire list of dies that I'll be letting go of but I see none are on your list. However, the current pile includes:

Lee 458 Socom
Hornady 6.5 Grendel
Hornady 6.5 PRC
Hornady 32 S&W/H&R Magnum
RCBS 240 Weatherby Mag
Hornady .224 Valkyrie

Just posting in case. I also have a Hornady Lock N Load Auto Charge dispenser, Dillon Beam Scale, Dillon Super Swage 600 and maybe some other stuff as I've been going through finding what all duplicate gear I have. Been meaning to get some pictures and post a proper classified soon enough.

Well said.... And with new dies you know what you are getting.

I've bought a set off ebay only to find that the inside of the dies are pitted.

Grafs reloading should have them .I like redding dies best will last forever .Stay away from hornady dies lots of problems with them.The older rcbs dies are better than new omes to me .

My preference in dies are bushing type LE Wilson and Redding. There is merit to the mandrel type but I prefer having consistent neck diameter.

I have a set of RCBS 458 Win Mag dies & 40 pieces of once fired brass.

I'm not afraid of used dies. I've purchased used dies from several manufacturers in several calibers and I've been pleased with all. Think about it; how can you abuse a die set? Even so, why not buy new die sets for calibers that are critical or important to you? I'm only buying used dies for ones that are no longer manufactured (like old BP dies). If a new set is available, I'm definitely buying new over used to save a few bucks. Not worth it.

@M70375!
I've been using Lee dies for a long long long time.
Started with a Lee loader that did the whole lore in a little box. Still have a 303 Brit that I use. Saves a lot of steps . No need to lube the case, neck size and deprime in one easy step then prime and load.
I also have Lee custom dies for my wildcat 25.
I use Lee dies almost exclusively
Can't fault them or their customers service
Great value for money.
